If you do, save a couple of $$$ and get an interior designer to redo the car!

Ok, we all know the interior is an issue. Can you live with the following?

- Hood need to be held open with a 'hood pole', like a Civic
- Side mirrors don't fold
- Amber gauges
- In Canada, no HID

other than that I like the car

Bigbadboss101, you forgot something else...
- in the 5 spd version: NO LSD (yet).

Other than the 3.5, what's left?!

j/k

Now that I have bought a (heavily) depreciated 2001 AE Max, I can wait another two years and chose either an Altima or a 6th Gen. Maxima. Maybe by that time, the Altima's will have all of the above.

If the Altima is so good, why didn't win any of the 10 best in the car mags? I couldn't believe that the accord won over this. Let alone that the maxima wasn't picked.
